10 Michelin Star Restaurants in Paris for Under 150 EUR
Paris has over 130 Michelin-starred restaurants. Some offer great value, especially if you know where to look. It’s possible to enjoy Michelin dining under 150€, but it often requires choosing lunch over dinner, as lunch menus tend to be more affordable.
La Tour d’Argent, for example, has a lunch menu for 160€, slightly above the budget but still within reach if you’re looking to splurge a bit.
The budget usually doesn’t include wine, which can significantly increase the total cost of the meal. Some places might offer a wine pairing at an additional cost, so it’s worth checking in advance if you want to include this.
Getting a table can be tough. Places like Septime are in high demand, it’s recommended to book as far ahead as possible. You might need to make reservations weeks, if not months, in advance.
Some restaurants have stunning views of Parisian landmarks, others offer a more intimate setting. The ambiance adds to the overall dining experience but also to the price.
